CCI box color

[bench]

I use cci br2 and br4 and buy them by the brick I have noticed that the boxes are dark blue and some a lighter blue.
Is there a way to tell which are older stock dark blue or lighter blue.
All the numbers on the boxes seem to be the same are there lot numbers or or some date they were made.
Thanks
Bench

CCI br-2 primer box color

Did they change the color of the boxes that CCIBR-2 primers come in? The 1000 count bricks used to be black now they're like blue ish with red CCI br-2 and a yellow strip across the bottom of the box. How about this on Powder Valley website all the boxes are blue with red writing and yellow...

I can see it now. In a few years I will see classified ads, “For Sale” CCI Primers, Dark Blue Box.

The light blue box is newer. The color was changed a few months ago.

Collector items. I can remember buying them for under a buck.

It took me a minuite because I slow like that, but I eventually got to the point that I date everything when I buy it, powder gets dated a second time when I break the seal.
